Sorry i forgot to mention about running it at boot. There should be a result script placed in init.d if you are using init.d mod from iridaki. If you execute KAK without init.d mod, you should assign with Script Manager to execute /data/98KickAssKernel.sh at boot. Thanks for the info.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fred07123:
how about after apply the super charger the script said that my launcher is bullet proof is that ok?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well yes certainly, that's what you really want after running SuperCharger. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fred07123:
is that the same with hard to kill launcher?

hi

great guide! everything went smoothly. but let's just say i install a new rom. would i have to redo the tweaks?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well you have to redo it unfortunately.

battery drain ?

I've done most of the mod proposed in here, but is it me (that is currently playing alot with the beast) or I feel the battery is drained substantially more than before (stock ROM/all) ?

The problem is that I didn't installed a battery stat app before the modding so I don't have real element of comparison.. Any thought abour that ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
try to charge it before sleeping, and leave it overnight without data connection. it should be loosing around 2-3% within 6 hours. please try to use Battery Monitor Widget to monitor the battery graph. If the drain is worse than that please report. :)

Hello my good ppl, i am just another noob, who wants to lvl up. However i have a problem thats torturing me ....i cant upgrade to 0.62, when i try that with PC companion after the screen where i need to turn off the phone and reconnect it, nothing happens and all freezes (both PC and phone) , i press the vol - , plug USB back in the phone but it just stays like that. I rooted the phone a month ago using simple procedure with flashtool described here on XDA , dident unlock the bootloader (at least i think i dident) , instaled busybox , but not CRM (wonder how to check all that?) .

Plz , plz, can someone find time to solve my problem, greatly appriciated.

Tnx in advance.

P.C I somehow manged to install Superuser app from the market and placed it with root, so after i reseted phone to factory condition it stayed , hope its not a problem, and if it is is there any easy step to wipe it?.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Maybe you can try aire's Repack ROM? it's based on .62 FW too AFAIK.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ljut123:
Well , i downloaded Aire`s ROM, tried to flash it, exactly the same thing happens, when i am requaired to put phone in flashmode, unplugg cable plug it back in, nothing changes animation screen stays on like nothing happened. Instruction for flashing rom says its for unlock bootloader, and i dident unlocked mine (at least i dident follow any procedure on doing so, just easy flash for root), I am not looking for some custom ROM atm , until i learn a bit more , i would just like to do the regular software upgrade.

pretty unhappy

P.S How do i check whether my bootloader is locked or not?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Bazonga:
AFAIK you really should unlock your bootloader first before you can flash .ftf files with flashtool. Search in the Ray forum for the "testpoint" method (so you don't lose DRM) or the original method described by Doomlord in one of the first topics.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ljut123:
ye well i tried flashing .ftf just for the sake of it, it was mentioned that its primary for unlocked bootloaders , but that also is a way round it.

Anyway, main problem is obviously that the phone or PC dont recognize preparation of the phone to receive new firmware , like nothing happened.

Is there simple way to unroot the phone and put it back into the "out of box" condition?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
AFAIK none that i know of. If you already unlocked bootloader with test point method, you should be able to revert to stock firmware.

And one thing: Don't flash Aire's ROM without his kernel. Some script (like auto OC init script) is integrated inside and make use of the custom kernel feature. but it's totally safe to use Aire's Kernel with stock ROM.

To check if your bootloader is locked or not, just try to flash aire's bootpe7.img with command line: type this. "fastboot flash boot bootpe7.img" if it still forbidden, then it is still locked.

You don't have to doubt about unlocking with test point method, it is perfectly safe and harmless (so far) and OTA update still able to be downloaded.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] asertyio:
a working link ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ljut123:
Thanks for the effort m8, and before I trouble you with some details about what you suggested 1 question:)

Is it possible that the superuser app has something to do with PS comp not being able to apply new firmware to the phone (as I stated i accidently instaled it with root , and after factory reset its still there and no unninstall option) , if so, does anyone has experience with it?

tnx in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
No, Root app does not make the OTA failed. And Root app won't be erased because it is a system app. FYI factory reset only erase your data partition, not your system partition, so system app will be retained whereas user app will be removed due to user app is installed on data partition.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ljut123:
ty very much m8 for clerifying that
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] klpp:
Hello,

there's no tiwlan.ini in my /system/etc/.

Is that cause i'm on CM 9.0 or what?

thx for help and thx for this great thread!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ljut123:
I would just like to mention (if its worth anything) that Pc companion turns off the phone when checking it during update , screen thats wants me to disconnect and reconect phone pops up, phone is off and after that windows report that new SEMC flash storage found , and than computer freezes , only hard reset reboots windows.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
I think that your pc is the problem, like the usb driver is kinda old or your hardware is not quite good. Normally the pc won't hang. Yes the phone will be restarted, but not the pc.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ljut123:
I suspect that maybe the mini usb port on the phone might be problem, but if i want to use my warranty for it, guy from SE servise told me that i need to unroot my phone and put it in "out of the box" condition, so i wonder are there any step by step instructions on XDA how to unroot my phone? (phone is rooted ,CWM ..busybox installed , but bootloader is still locked).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Umm have you tried using another computer? to unroot, you might try DoomLord's zergRush unroot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DaddyCool78:
Maybe it's your drivers that are not correct ? Download the files in here USB Drivers from SonyE

You got much information about unlocking your bootloader in here : http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com but beware, it may void your warranty/DRM/etc. (There are more complicated methods that are in development in here that avoid the lost of DRMs. Since you got ROM .42, you could try the Zergrush method...)

So, about your drivers, assuming you're on Windows something, open your Config panel/Device manager (peripheral?) and check for your xPeria Ray, update drivers, choose the folder where you downloaded the files I pointed you.

Note, you have 2 modes you need the right drivers. Reboot with vol+ / bled led (fastboot) & reboot with vol- / green led (flashboot). Both launch needs different drivers (found in the zip package) so you'd better "update the drivers" with both.

Hope that can help you

Ok, been able to test that, and yeah, battery drain is ridicule. 2 % overnight ! *thumbs up* . I believe it must be the display that is draining that much battery. Maybe I should try testing the automatic back light on & off for the eventual battery cost ? Have you made comparative test concerning that ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ljut123:
to hansip87 @ DaddyCool78 1000 tnxs , everything is fixed , your sugestions where 100 % , it was my PC all along. Never would have thought that PC could be the problem since file transfers and flash business where smooth everytime from my day 1 with a phone, but as soon as i connected Ray to notebook (with older winXP and outdated drivers then desktop PC) everything updated to 0.62 with PC comp. smooth as silk within 5 mins.

Now...heheh, this official update to 0.62 unrooted my phone , i need to get back to business and root it with CWM ,and busybox install again, whats the easiest and safest method? And is it possible to root 0.62 without unlocking bootloader?

hmmm..nevermind previous q...ok..found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446308 , basicly i need to put it back to 0.42 to be able to root 0.62 + CWM ..lol..after all this trouble :) , but its cool i have a chance to toy with my Ray eaven more.

Can you tell me what is the best , easiest and safest metod to unlock bootloader (link if psbl plz) and is it possible to revert after that in time if i ever need to use my waranty?

And...once again very gratefull to u both.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
I told you so ;) and pleeease2 read the OP thread, it already have some bootloader unlocking recommended on the first page. :( don't make me write it again..

[Q] update to .62 WITH looked bootloader

i have to day .42 roooted Locked Bootloader.

Can i update to .62 OTA and still have rooted ray?

i have read that in Neo thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1489752)... will it work on ray?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
no, once you update, no old files is saved. Well there's two way actually..

1. with Unlocking bootloader and run RecoveryArc.img to install rootXperia.zip

2. with flashing to .42 kernel first and applyzergRush, after that find and flash again the .62 kernel (i don't know where maybe someone can show me?)

Me personally is doing the no1.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] holst75:
How can thid work on neo but not on ray? I hope some will fix root to .62 soon
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well you have to try it i guess.. Maybe it will work with OTA update (since the idea is to update directly on phone through wireless connection, maybe that's why the root still exists), but i don't think it will work with PC companion update method.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] holst75:
I have try the ota update i got on my phone but it fail to instal???

I have never unlock bootloader its only rooted????
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well, that's unfortunate i guess. is it able to download the update over the air? or just can't install after downloading the OTA?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] holst75:
The only file i can find is a .bin on 10mb

For those that don't like the 3D Camera function like me, delete the SemcCamera3D.apk :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] holst75:
YES! now i have .62 ROOTED with LB

instal OTA on my rooted .42 and the root is still there.

Not wipe user data.

Problem was that i have uninstal system apps.

system\app needs to be intact, you can not remove ANY app must be original

flashing kernel

can amyone tell me how to flash the kernel??? everytime i install the custom rom my phone got stucked on soy ericsson logo
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Kernel or Rom bro? Just follow the step 10 for that. The take point is that custom Rom surely need custom kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cul_jitu:
I want to install custom kernel.. My phone is rooted whenever I tried to install custom kernel via flashtool or fastboot there is a error( device must b rooted first) what shud I do now. I hv both superuser and cwm installed

hi guys ...

i have a problem ... i have rooted my ray successfully, however i just updated the phone two 4.0.2.A.0.62 then my phone got missed up some of the original apps got deleted like the market and google map. so i reset the phone to the factory data after that the apps that needs root did not work so i rerooted it and that did not work so i unrooted it and root it once more also that did not work so i do not knew what to do.

help pleas ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Unlock bootloader please. The fastboot lied to you.. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
.62 Rom is unrootable so far. You need to unlock bootloader so you can temporarily load custom recovery kernel. or you need to flash .42 framework first to root with zergrush method.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhmd_bk:
thanx a lot man ...

however, i am new at this so if u could give an idea about how to flash .42 framework.

and please let me knew when .62 Rom is rootable ...

thanx again ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackSniper:
i have .62 Rooted :)

but you have to unlock the bootloader to install the root .. follow the tut in this Thread just read from "How to install Root" if you still on .62

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aumob:
Thanks for these tutorials. It seems that my Ray is much responsive and works much better. The only thing that I still have to do is to overclock my CPU. Related to this. Does the battery last less than before the overclock ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhmd_bk:
ok guys thanks a lot for the advice ...

but im gonna be honest with u ... as i said before i am new at this :o ... i mean i barely rooted my phone before so i am afraid :( that i am gonna damage my phone if i tried to unlock the Boot Loader, because its a Little bet too complicated for my.

maybe if i have like a video tutorial about the easiest way to unlock the boot loader that done step by step in a ray ... then maybe i will have the courage to do it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Yeah it will eat some more battery, but not much. you can do some underclocking/undervolting too while in idle to prevent unwanted process to take too much power when idling.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
It's better to do it yourself and follow my tutorial on the front page :) The video won't give you more info, it just makes you more unsure of the steps. :) Just follow the Tut and you'll be fine, trust me ;)

.

I have a question: I did everything from your guide except for unlocking bootloader. I am on .42 version and still no official update so what will happen if I have to update my phone ? I will just lose root or I will lose every mod I did like supercharge and KAK ?

Can I install any ROM or Kernel if my phones bootloader is locked ? Because when I checked it with this dialpad code its grayed and ppl say I cant unlock it by any chance? thx in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
well good for you then you're still on 42, because on 62 it's a bit hard to get root with zergrush. there are 2 possibilities when upgrading:

1. through OTA: Root will be retained, but any other mod is removed.

2. through SEUS: ROM will be back to stock, nothing left

So i suggest you to take OTA route when offered. the key is when there's Root app, an other modification can be installed. no Root no customization

No you can't install another kernel or ROM if your phone is bootloader locked. Maybe you mean SIM locked? It's different though. SIM Locked means you can't unlock your phone by yourself, you need to use paid service for that.

But to be honest, Ray in it's default form with all the tweak here is still a little performer. so i don't think you miss much by not unlocking bootloader. :) but then again no harm done if you choose to unlock with test method ;)

Do you think its worthed to upg to .62 when its out for me or to just stick on .42 ? And will I be able to upg my phone to Android 4.0 when its out for Ray phone? thx in advance and sorry for noobish question xD I am really bad at smartphones this is my first and still I am itchy to play with it :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] amodeos:
maybe u just can chane ur baseband to .62 it the most best band for ray. u just need the link and flashtool no need to unlock ur bootloader and u will not lose ur mod and any change u made.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
well the 62 one has better radio so i think it's better to go to .62 one. :) well it depends on you mate, from what i have, unlocking bootloader is quite a worthy addition to my ray, but not a must have if you're still new to the phone, just enjoy the phone now and come back when you know what do you want from your phone.. ;)

hi guys ...

first i want to thank hansip87 and all the guys who worked on the tutorials.

I have done most of them in my ray ... successfully :) .However, I still have some questions but I am going to start with some errors that started to appear on my phone like:

[5] Error ... when i open TrackID

and the most recent and the most important

error (-101) ... when i try to download or update an app from the market.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Could you be more specific about trackid error? Did you unlock with official method?

For market, you can try to turn off and on the connectivity first and keep trying. Unfortunately I do have this issue too but after persistent trial, it is able to download at last.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bar_rodoy:
I open a thread 3 days ago and I asked if the Prime is worth buying. Most of the people said to wait until it gets updates and the issue are fixed. As far as I saw in the last 3 days, a lot of updates and improvements have done by Asus, but because this forums is rapidly updating its hard to follow all the reviews. So, what was fixed? What issues still there?

And, I shouldnt have any issues with fixing the device, if needed, here in Israel. I talk to representative of Asus here, and as long as I have international warranty I can fix it.

Thank you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Nothing was really fixed... GPS got swept under the carpet (forces you to automatically use wifi location and then pretends its just the GPS), touch is now responsive. The auto image quality (brightness/contrast/dynamic color) has been taken out leaving you with a poor contrast and washed out look.

Before this update the auto image quality would adjust brightness, contrast and colors according to each mode (power saving, balanced and normal). When it was in power saving mode it would have poor contrast and washed out colors, when in balanced mode or normal it would give sharp images with vivid colors.

Since the update you only get what was previously in the low power mode... Poor contrast and washed out colors no matter which mode your in.

Most user have just received their primes and may not notice the difference but if you compare it to any other android device, even your phone you will notice the washed out and poor contrast of the screen.
